Description

One Fierce Hour is Alfian Sa'at's first and breakout work. It was hailed as 'truly a landmark' for Singaporean poetry when it was published in 1998. The collection, which has entered the canon of Singapore literature, contains the anti-anthem "Singapore You Are Not My Country". Alfian remains an intelligent writer with an unabashedly social and political voice. He has written 37 plays, 3 works of prose and 2 poetry anthologies."This is one of the most exciting collections of poetry by a Singaporean in recent years... He is what I call a 'natural' poet - one to whom image-making comes by instinct, without strain or struggle; or at least that is how his art looks." - Lee Tzu Pheng"Alfian writes brutally honest poetry that is not so much grievances from an angry young man, but wry observations of a 'surprising Singapore' ... laced with sarcasm, poignancy, and yes, a lot of love." - BigO Magazine"One of the most acclaimed poets in his country ... a prankish provocateur, libertarian hipster." - New Straits Times
